Checking if an instance's class implements an interface?

Question

Given a class instance, is it possible to determine if it implements a particular interface? As far as I know, there isn\'t a built-in function to do this directly. What opt

Answer 1

interface IInterface
{
}

class TheClass implements IInterface
{
}

$cls = new TheClass();
if ($cls instanceof IInterface) {
    echo "yes";
}

You can use the "instanceof" operator. To use it, the left operand is a class instance and the right operand is an interface. It returns true if the object implements a particular interface.
